에스겔 14:19 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 14:12-21

The scope of these verses is to show, I. That national sins bring national judgments. When virtue is ruined and laid waste every thing else will soon be ruined and laid waste too (Ezek. 14:13): When the land sins against me, when vice and wickedness become epidemical, when the land sins by trespassing grievously, when the sinners have become very numerous and their sins very heinous, when gross impieties and immoralities universally prevail, then will I stretch forth my hand upon it, for the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 14:19

Or if I send a pestilence into that land ,.... Or the plague, which is the destruction that wastes at noon day; this is from the Lord, and a sore judgment it is: and pour out my fury upon it in blood ; or, "by blood" F25 בדם "per sanguinem", Piscator. ; by corrupting the blood, which is done when a man is seized with the pestilence. The Targum renders it, "with slaughter"; by slaying a great number of persons by that disease, as a token of fury and wrath, because of their... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 14:19

Verse 19 He now affirms of the fourth kind of punishment, what he has hitherto pronounced of the rest. He says, then, If I shall have sent a pestilence, and have devoted a land to devastation, that Job, Daniel, and Noah, should be safe if they dwelt there: but that their righteousness should not profit even their sons and their daughters. Nay, he seems to speak with greater restriction, since he has substituted the singular number for the plural: for he had just said, they shall not free either... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:12-23

Human atonement valueless. The hopeful among the Jews probably remembered that in times of former correction God had yielded, in some measure, to the intercessions of the saints. If they had not gained all that they asked, they had gained some advantage. Why might that not occur again? Might not God concede some of his demand? This was impossible, for the first necessity was that righteous government be maintained. No good can ever come to men by tampering with righteousness. I. SIN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 14:19

Pestilence is joined with blood, as in Ezekiel 5:17 ; Ezekiel 38:22 , as indicating its death-bearing character. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 14:12-23

Jeremiah 14:0; Jeremiah 15:0 is a remarkable parallel to this prophecy. Here, as elsewhere, Ezekiel is commissioned to deliver to the exiles the same message which Jeremiah conveys to the inhabitants of Judaea. The answer discovers the nature of the questions which had been expressed or implied.(1) Can God cast out a people who are holy unto Himself?(2) Is it just to punish them with utter desolation?The prophet answers:(1) That when a people is so corrupt as to call down national judgment,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 14:15-21

Ezekiel 14:15-21. If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land We find it was one punishment of the inhabitants of Judea, to be infested by lions and other wild beasts. To this their neighbourhood to the deserts of Arabia exposed them; and God, at certain times, to punish them for their sins, either by causing a scarcity of food in the deserts, or by some other means, influenced these wild beasts to make incursions into Judea, in great numbers, which they otherwise were not wont to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 14:12-23

Justice in punishing Jerusalem (14:12-23)Some were no doubt saying that God would not destroy Jerusalem as Ezekiel had been prophesying. God would surely spare the city out of consideration for the godly people within it, even though such godly people may have been few in number. Ezekiel replied that even if some of the godliest people who ever lived were in the city, God would still destroy it; though he would deliver the godly (12-14). God’s punishment could take various forms, but the same... read more
